4:09.0 January gets a bad rap. It really needs to be rebranded into January is rest, relaxation, rejuvenation. It's also like organizing, prepping, planning, and at a pace that feels gentle and tender and kind.
8:27.8 So where I see retail and boutiques being really different is retail feels really big.
9:39.2 People that look like they're big time might not be making the money you think they might not have the influence you think, or they'll have the influence in the wrong space.
11:29.5 And, you know, I do think if you are interested in doing white label product, beauty products, you want to go to a show that has like more stuff, maybe your general merchandise, maybe you have a gift store. This might be something that You want to come and look at, um, I will be on their podcast too, coming up soon here.
12:37.0 I think one of the things that it's really nice to do in January is analyze your routines
13:47.7 So we do talk about my plan and we do talk about Facebook ads, but we also talk about getting a launch schedule down and doing a launch schedule. And because that's going to lead you to being in a position where you have a routine. And so instead of doing tasks in your business, instead of just saying, Oh, I need to schedule out my social media. It's actually your routine.
16:08.3 I need to get more routines in my life so that I can get more tasks done because my brain is not great at task switching, which like whose is if you are like you're a rare bird, I think.
16:21.4 I feel like I was in search for some systems to get these routines down because at the end of the day, if you think of goals at the top of your hierarchy, like you're, so this is Brendon Burchard again, like taking his work.
16:46.8 But one of the things I really have been wrapping my head around, and I think this has gotten me so clear because I love manifesting. I love writing down things. I love journaling. I love burning pieces of paper to get rid of my bad thoughts. You know, I love all that stuff. I love it. Something about this framework, though, just really struck a chord with me.
19:43.7 I think this is how I want to think about it is like once those tasks get put into the routine, then slowly, because the routine is implemented, I'm going to reach my goals.
20:32.9 I think having more discipline, to be honest with you, is going to pull me out of the depression, out of the, you know, a friend said to me, Emily, the reason our bodies get sick and depressed is because like, if we didn't have to slow down, we would just keep going.
20:56.1 Use this time to recoup yourself. You can still sell, you can still do your launches, your live stream, still do it, right? But take the pressure off at least, like give yourself a little bit of a break.
21:13.4 The amount of pressure we put on ourselves to push, push, push, push, push, like. That's not gonna get you anywhere.
22:10.8 I have noticed that we love to work really hard, get really burnt out. And then we have to stop because our bodies just can't take it.
23:03.3 I also think that we need to get out of the thought loop that we need to be working harder, doing more.
23:45.0 What we can do and the action we can take is inside our home, is inside ourselves, is, is, you know, picking and choosing what we're going to go after and what we're going to support and what we're going to pay attention to.
23:59.5 I want to encourage you to double down on loving yourself, being kind to yourself, moving slower, being more decisive, saying no to more people, taking space from people and things that don't serve you right now.
24:19.2 We're setting these, this bubble up around us so that we can regain our personal power so that we can step back into being the powerful person that we are.
24:48.2 Once they get to know me though don't they'll know what you and I know right is like January is just a smaller percentage of the year So what that means is we have a bigger percentage of time of resources to take care of ourselves
25:56.4 January is not for having big sales, unless you're in a tropical place, unless you focus on resort. Okay. Like there's going to be exceptions to the rule
26:51.0 Pull back your power. Stop giving your power away to a month. An arbitrary month on a piece of paper that someone decided is the day you need to now lose weight and hit your fitness goals. That's dumb. It's so dumb.
